Abstract: Most mammalian cells take up cholesterol from low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) via receptor-mediated endocytosis. After reaching lysosomes, LDL-derived cholesterol continues to transport to downstream organelles including the ER for specific structural and functional needs. Peroxisomes are… read more here.
